Europa League LIVE: Man United thrash Athletic Bilbao to close in on final, Tottenham win but nerves remain, Chelsea cruise to victory

Relocation, Relocation, Relocation

Twickenham could host Chelsea matches should they need to play away from Stamford Bridge during redevelopment.

The Blues have held long-term interest in upgrading their home ground, whilst a move to Earl's Court has also become an option.

Should they redevelop Stamford Bridge, The Guardian report that they could move to fellow south-west London venue Twickenham.

It's currently the home of the England national rugby union team, with RFU CEO Bill Sweeney hinting that the Blues could play there.

"It [the RFU] would allow it to happen. There have been conversations previously about possible Premiership [sic] clubs coming here.

";Richmond council, Richmond borough is more concerned about that. I just think in terms of impact on local residents, numbers of fans and so on they’re a little bit more sensitive.

"It may depend on which club it is. It would be a big financial number, I know Richmond borough would definitely have a conversation about that though."

Klopp's tribute

Jurgen Klopp has taken to social media to react to Liverpool's Premier League title win.

Arne Slot's side wrapped up top spot in his first season after Klopp's exit, with the Dutch boss paying tribute to the Reds' legend.

But 24 hours on, Klopp has paid tribute to his former club.

Taking to Instagram, Klopp wrote: "Super grateful for the past.

"Super, super happy about the present.

"Extremely positive about the future!

Congratulations - YNWA. Thank You Luv."

Chelsea keeper choice

Chelsea plan to decide on a new number one goalkeeper next season from their current crop of options.

The Blues have been strongly linked with signing a new stopper in the summer.

Amongst their rumoured targets is Borussia Dortmund's Gregor Kobel.

However, that those reports are wide of the mark and no approaches have been made to keepers at other clubs.

Instead, Chelsea will install one of Robert Sanchez, Filip Jorgensen, Djordje Petrovic or Mike Penders between the sticks.

Sanchez and Jorgensen have battled to be Enzo Maresca's first-choice this term.

Petrovic previously held the honour under Mauricio Pochettino but was loaned out to Strasbourg last summer.

As for Penders, the teenage Belgian keeper joined the Blues in 2024 before returning to Genk on a season-long loan.

Elland Road plans

Newly-promoted Leeds have unveiled proposed images for their planned expansion of Elland Road.

The Championship side sealed a return to the Premier League on Easter Monday.

They will play top-flight football once again next term, two years on from relegation in 2023.

Leeds are also now looking to move forward with plans to 'modernise and improve' their famous home.

It comes after Leeds City Council unanimously agreed to the project, which will look to increase the capacity to 53,000 fans.

Elland Road, which has been Leeds' home since their formation in 1919, currently holds 37,645 supporters.

Redevelopment work includes revitalising the West and North Stands as well as changes to the South Stand.

The club hope the expansion will help meet the demand for tickets, with 26,000 supporters currently on their season ticket waiting list.

'Unforgettable' celebration

Councillor Liam Robinson has promised an 'unforgettable' day for Liverpool fans at their victory parade.

The Reds have confirmed a celebration in the city on May 26, the day after their final match of the season.

In a statement, Cllr Robinson said: "We’re delighted to officially invite Liverpool Football Club to parade around the city on May 26. A Liverpool victory parade is more than football – it’s a celebration of our city’s pride, passion and community spirit.

"A huge amount of work goes on behind the scenes in preparation for an event of this size and scale, and there has already been months of careful planning taking place as the Team Liverpool approach – which we saw work so well throughout Eurovision – comes to the fore again.

"It’s set to be an unforgettable Bank Holiday weekend as we give the team the celebration they deserve."

The squad will celebrate their 20th league title with supporters on a 15km route through the city.

As in 2019 and 2022, the parade will begin at Allerton Maze in the south of Liverpool.

The parade is expected to last between three and five hours, with the route ending at Blundell Street.

Rashford ruled out

Marcus Rashford is set to miss the rest of the season through injury.

The on loan Aston Villa winger was absent from Saturday's FA Cup final defeat due to a hamstring issue.

According to , he is expected to be ruled out for their remaining four Premier League matches.

Rashford will not undergo surgery on the injury, with the 27-year-old undergoing rehab and tests at Villa.

However, the club have not ruled out a return for their final home game of the season against Tottenham on May 18.

Rashford is ineligible for the final day trip to parent club Manchester United the following week.

Meanwhile, his priority is understood to be on getting fit in time for England's two matches in June.

The Three Lions face Andorra away from home in World Cup qualifying on June 7 before a friendly against Senegal three days later.

Kane's 'dream move'

Liverpool have been told to swoop for Harry Kane this summer after winning the Premier League title.

Ally McCoist believes the Reds are still lacking a 'proper goalscorer' to lead their attack.

Although Mohamed Salah has scored 28 league goals this term, he is the only player to pass the 15-goal mark for Arne Slot's side.

As a result, McCoist believes a striker should be a priority in the summer, with Kane an ideal option for the champions.

The talkSPORT co-host told Breakfast: "I look at Liverpool just now and they could probably still do with an out-and-out number nine, proper goalscorer.

"Diaz has been brilliant, Salah has been absolutely out of this world and they've got midfielders chipping in.

"I don't see it happening, but see, if Harry Kane won the Bundesliga, which he will do, and then fancy if he would come back to England?

"I just think, for Liverpool, that would be a dream move for them."

Trent sends message

Trent Alexander-Arnold has sent a message to Liverpool fans after their title triumph.

The Reds sealed their Premier League triumph at Anfield on Sunday.

Needing only a point, they came from behind to thrash Tottenham 5-1.

The win secured Alexander-Arnold's second league title, having been part of the side which did the same in 2019/20.

Following the victory, he shared a series of snaps from Liverpool's title celebrations to social media on Monday.

Alongside a post on Instagram, Alexander-Arnold wrote: "For the City. For the Fans."

It comes amid speculation surrounding the 26-year-old's future.

He is understood to have agreed to join Real Madrid on a five-year deal when his contract expires this summer.

Full strength PSG

Pogba gives update

Paul Pogba has revealed he is 'hungry' to return to football as his search for a club continues.

The former Manchester United midfielder remains a free agent after leaving Juventus in December.

Pogba has since been linked with several clubs including a sensational return to Old Trafford.

After almost six months without a club, he has now issued an update to his social media followers.

In a video shared to Instagram, the Frenchman said: "What's up it's your boy PP.

"I mean, this is just a little message that I think shows someone who is still hungry for the comeback. I have been training by myself, but never giving up and always chasing my dream and what I want to achieve.

"So just a little message for all of you guys that right now, you don't get what you want, but just keeping trying, keep pushing until you get it. It might be tomorrow, it might be in one year, two years, but man what is going to happen, is going to happen so, let's go.

"Big up and I will see you very soon."

Arsenal omen

Arsenal have been handed a positive omen ahead of their Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The two sides will meet in the first leg of their semi-final at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday.

Ahead of the match, UEFA have confirmed their referee appointments for this week's semi-finals.

Slovenian official Slavko Vincic will take charge of the Gunners' meeting with PSG.

He will be in familiar territory having already officiated the two sides at the same venue during the league phase.

Arsenal hosted PSG on matchday two back in October, winning 2-0 thanks to goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.

The win was one of six for Mikel Arteta's side during the league phase as they finished third in the standings.

They have since beaten PSV and Real Madrid to set up their showdown with the French champions.

Slot hailed

Gary Neville has heaped praise on Arne Slot after Liverpool's title triumph.

The Dutchman has secured the club's 20th league success in his first season as Reds boss.

Liverpool were confirmed as Premier League champions after beating Tottenham at Anfield on Sunday.

Speaking on Sky Sports coverage, Neville explained: "I think they deserve great congratulations.

"I think it's one of the great coaching performances that we've seen - to come in from Jurgen Klopp, to not get the players he wanted in the transfer window, to have the shadow of the three, probably the best players in their positions in Europe, hanging over him all season, you've got to hand it to him.

"It's absolutely a brilliant achievement."

Slot replaced Jurgen Klopp as manager last summer following his exit after nine years in charge.

This season's title triumph is the second of his managerial career after winning the Eredivisie with Feyenoord last term.

Spurs boost

Tottenham have received a boost ahead of their Europa League semi-final first leg.

Spurs host Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt in the first leg on Thursday.

Ahead of the match, their opponents have been handed a fresh injury blow as their selection concerns mount.

Defedner Odin Bjortuft was forced off during the second half of their league match against KFUM at the weekend.

His potential absence adds to a list of three players already suspended for the first leg.

Captain Patrick Berg will miss the trip to North London along with Hakon Evjen and Andreas Helmersen.

The Europa League remains Ange Postecoglou's only chance of silverware and a route into Europe this term.

Following Sunday's 5-1 loss to Liverpool, Spurs sit 16th in the Premier League and are on course for their lowest finish since promotion in 1978.

Top Slot

Liverpool manager Arne Slot chanted the name of his predecessor Jurgen Klopp after guiding the Reds to a record-equalling 20th top-flight title on Sunday.

Slot's side secured the Premier League crown with four games to spare as they came from behind to thrash Tottenham 5-1 on a sunny afternoon at Anfield.

The Dutchman had a tough act to follow after replacing the hugely popular and successful Klopp last summer but he proved any doubters wrong in a highly impressive debut campaign.

One of Klopp's final acts as Liverpool boss was sing Slot's name as he bade an emotional farewell to Anfield and his successor felt it was right to return the compliment as he addressed the crowd.

Asked later why he made that gesture, Slot said: "Because of what he did before I even arrived here - I think that is something not one manager ever did before.

"That definitely helped me but, apart from that, he helped me even more by the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team."

Liverpool were given a raucous welcome by supporters prior to the game and Slot felt that energised the team.

He said: "We still had to do it but I think everybody who was inside that bus felt if the fans are with us like they are, then it's impossible for us to lose this game of football.

"It's special. Special to be part of this day and, to do this in front of our fans, it's special for everyone."

Taking it all in

Ibrahima Konate has been savouring the moment.

The Liverpool defender has been spotted sitting in the main stand at Anfield after winning his first Premier League title.

And honestly, who can blame him?

First, let me take a selfie

Mohamed Salah celebrated his goal for Liverpool with a selfie, and it's now been released on social media.

The Reds legend is joined by hundreds of adoring fans in the Kop as they went on to thrash Tottenham 5-1

There'll surely be plenty of supporters framing this image!

Football, eh?

Jurgen Klopp could have been a three-time Premier League winner with Liverpool.

He ended the club's 30-year wait to become champions of England in the 2019/20, but narrowly missed out on two other occasions.

In the season before, they finished on 97 points but Manchester City nicked the title on 98 points.

Three years later it was deja vu, as Liverpool reached 92 points only for City to go a step further and hit 93.

But Arne Slot hasn't faced such difficulty as his Reds side have won the title with 82 points.

Football's a funny game.

20 and counting

Liverpool have gone level with Manchester United as champions of England for the 20th time, so let's see all their title-winning seasons.

• 1900/01
• 1905/06
• 1921/22
• 1922/23
• 1946/47
• 1963/64
• 1965/66
• 1972/73
• 1975/76
• 1976/77
• 1978/79
• 1979/80
• 1981/82
• 1982/83
• 1983/84
• 1985/86
• 1987/88
• 1989/90
• 2019/20
• 2024/25

Could a record-breaking 21st triumph come next season?

Returning the favour

And here is a video of Arne Slot's tribute to Jurgen Klopp.

Anfield has sung the names of two historic managers who have led them to deserved Premier League glory.

‘I always thank Jurgen’

Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister: "Not bad, not bad. To win a World Cup and a Premier League is amazing, I wouldn't be able to do it without the team, I'm just one part of the puzzle.

"We showed it last year but it wasn't enough, it's really special and hopefully this week we can enjoy it.

"It was really good, I don't think I'll experience it again, it wasn't bad.

"Really pleased, it was the right decision for me [to join Liverpool]. Not just the team but the club and the city, I'm really enjoying my time and I always thank Jurgen because he was an important part."

'We got there in the end'

Liverpool full-back Andy Robertson: "The last time we won it was a strange time, it was unique the way we did it but you can't beat what we experienced, the fans before, during and after the game, I'm glad we experienced that.

"It was better lads back then, it was a different style of play, it was high energy, high press. This team is a bit more controlled. They're two very different teams but the key things are the same.

“The consistency has been there for both teams and we got there in the end. We've always showed up.

"It's special, for me when I came to this club, you quickly realise how many good Scottish players are here. There's a little bit of pressure but you take it on board.

"I'm glad I can win the Premier League."
